Corbyn was previously concerned that if we left the EU and fell in with the U.S. we may be vulnerable to an equivalent of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), recently rejected by the EU.
Workers rights would be lost under the TTIP and naturally British unions such as Unite and the TUC opposed TTIP on the grounds that it would undermine the National Health Service and allow for the further privatisation of public services.
Corbyn would prefer us to remain in the capitalist EU, where reasonable workers rights are set in stone, than being in thrall and vulnerable to the demands of the capitalist USA, where rights are far fewer and big business wields huge power.
It all depends on whether any Labour politicians can be persuaded to back Boris's 'new' deal, otherwise, since the Tories operate in a minority government, (plus with all the black-listed m.p.'s) we are going to be in Limbo for ever and a day.
Now it seems that the EU may refuse to grant any extensions that Boris is being threatened with under the Benn act and so may be wishing to wrap a deal up under the thorny Irish-border issue.
Gut Fawkes was hoping to blow the whole lot up and perhaps some may have congratulated him if he had succeeded!!
